Do you have a friend, sibling, or coworker who could use a little festive cheer? In the spirit of the holiday season, I'd like to send out Christmas Tree Necklaces to them. Send me a message telling me why you'd like to 'Tree' someone, and they'll receive a gift from you--or anonymously if you prefer.

I have five friendly trees waiting to brighten someone's day.

UPDATE: All the Christmas Tree Necklaces have been sent out to spread the seasonal joy. Happy Holidays!!!

First, I'd like to thank all of you who came out and said *Hello* during my shows. I met some really cool people--customers and vendors--and I appreciate the support. I'd especially like to thank everyone who helped me Saturday night when a gust of wind overturned my tent, walls, and tables as we were tearing down. That was some show season finale. Oy.

Now that the shows are over for the year and the temperature is dropping, I'm feeling Santa Claus-y. I've decided to hide Gift Bags filled with jewelry around town in my own geocaching adventure. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS to hide and seek things. To get the locations of the Gift Bags, join The List or Like my Facebook page.

All my e-maille is locked and loaded and I'm looking forward to a beautiful day at the Wylie Arts Festival this Saturday from 10am - 8pm. There will be a little something for everybody including the Festival of Lights Parade and the Tree Lighting Ceremony! The map below shows where the festival will be located.

factoids

about me and my studio...

I’m a chick who likes to make stuff, so I started
ErinMichael.com to show and share my stuff. If you like something and think “Hey, I’m gonna buy this,” you should know you’re only encouraging me, and your hard-earned dollars will ultimately be invested in more tools and supplies and shiny things. It’s an endless cycle, but it keeps me off the street. I started with chainmaille, but I have an unbridled curiosity and short attention span, so tomorrow I could be adding monkey biscuits to the mix. Who knows... That’s the mysterious, fun, creamy nougat that life’s about.

After making chainmaille for about 4 years, I realized an anagram of my
name is CHAINMEILER. I'm taking some liberties on the spelling, but still
freaky, no?

In my pursuit of making things, I wanted to share the chainmaille fun and have a place for tutorials and kits for others to make things. That’s how
the Can
You BeWeave It?
line was born. All the jump rings are cut by me, and I’m always working to add more handmade findings--earwires, clasps, links, and the like. My goal is to infect your subconscious with chainmaille patterns until it’s all you want to do. Did I mention the pretty colors? They like you and want to be your friend. Don’t make the
Can You BeWeave It? chainmaille kits cry and whimper from loneliness. It’s sad and annoying.
Order some today and show some jump rings that you really care.
